As you know Intel today officially launched the Intel chipset Z68. Simultaneously ASUS announces the "meanest" motherboard based on this chipset: Maximus IV Gene-Z.
It has all the Z68 goodies: Lucid Virtu with both d-Mode and i-Mode + Intel Smart Response Technology. The output from the integrated GPU is only HDMI but that's ok considering most users will probably use Virtu d-Mode with a discrete GPU. Even if you use i-Mode, HDMI output is enough for conecting your PC to a LCD / Plasma display.
In 2-3 weeks, ASUS will launch also Maximus IV Extreme-Z based also on Intel but whis one will support only d-Mode because will not have any video output from iGPU.
